Torth is the planet closest to the Twin Star.

As such, it bears the brunt of Starfall the strange phenomenon that showers energy and rare materials across the Omega System.

Torth is tidally locked to the Twin Star, only ever exposing one half of itself to the ferocity of Starfall. That face is annihilated, rich in Starfall materials but deadly to traverse.

The other half is an icy undulating landscape, frozen and treacherous, never receiving the warmth of the Star.

On the equator between these two faces, the brave and the desperate touch down, readying for lucrative expeditions to collect the rare Starfall materials. To some, the value they have on the market is worth the risk of getting caught in a Starfall shower and eviscerated. To many, it is the last expedition they ever make.

Torth’s orbit around the Twin Star is perfectly timed with the Starfall showers in such a way that it shields the second planet, Diin. Without Torth, Diin would be subject to regular global bombardment.

The relationship of these two planets is cited by scholars as one of the primary proofs of Omega’s hand in the design of the System.
